<p>When you create the entity class, the IDE checks if there is a persistence unit for the project. If the IDE cannot locate a persistence unit, the Create Persistence Unit button appears. Click <b>Create Persistence Unit</b> to open the Create Persistence Unit wizard. Alternatively, you can create a persistence unit later by choosing <b>Persistence &gt; Persistence Unit</b> in the New File wizard.</p>
